We propose a two-pha.se algorithm for physical database design. In phase one the algorithm, for each logical query, losesrules to determine characteristics of a physical design (s...
Abstract. We present the hybrid query language HQL/EER for an Extended Entity-Relationship model. As its main characteristic, this language allows a user to freely mix graphical an...
We introduce a new multimodal retrieval technique which combines query reformulation and visual image reranking in order to deal with results sparsity and imprecision, respectively...
We consider spatial databases and queries definable using first-order logic and real polynomial inequalities. We are interested in topological queries: queries whose result only ...
We describe a functional database language OR-SML for handling disjunctive information in database queries, and its implementation on top of Standard ML 12]. The core language has ...
